Fyi my aristo engine got shipped from the states by a good friend of mine who buys them from japan, 46K/m motor cost around 1200 quid including shipping and taxes. his email is [email protected] name karim, hes a good chap and worth a chat.

As suprahuman says fitting is same although tt ones have slightly different output power, auto is different again but i had used a n/a one on my tt motor for some time with no probs.

Take UR Beast Over & Find It Trashed

standard colour not gunmetal though, i have a spare set of spats in this stock colour and its more of a bronze, not sure of the colour code....

why didnt you just buy the union for the remote fitting plus the o-ring for about £15 and use the n/a one?

yep ive done mine. apparently blue to gold? its a bit tricky soldering/shorting the pins on the chip but the jumper is easy enough to do. The only thing i have found is that im better off logging with emanage tools and then converting it to excel form, data is much easier to read and emanage tools is very accurate with my visual wideband gauge, the greddy software does not log accurate to my gauge,even when i set the parameter in the options 0-5v etc, this makes me believe there is somewhat of a glitch in the software conversion factor. p.s if you do it make sure your running the box standard firmware, do the mod and upgrade firmware after.

I did my Conversion for around 2k, that was for the lot including 6spd box,uk brakes, billys,more or less everything,sometimes you find these bargains from people/breakers who dont know the true value of the parts,I rang the same guy a week later for something else and he wanted 800 quid for a uk engine (90k) and 6 spd box which i dont think you would find on here? for me it was an easy decision as ive been messing with cars years and i liked the condition of my facelift n.a....

ive got a better one here! into rc planes myself so i know how difficult it can be to fly one in reverse..........? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8185503357916397815

if its cheap then why not try,i paid £25 off jezz so your not gonna be out of pocket that much if it dont work, At a guess i would say it would be ok.

Just get a non vvti then, my one is facelift and a stock non facelift tt one works a treat, cant understand what you mean about the connections? as the connections into the tach itself are the same, just take out the tacho only and replace.....simple

we should have a little get together sometime as i very rarely see supes this way, dont know what weathers going to be like but i think theres one more bubble inn meet before end of the year?

yes you would have to change sump,windage tray and oil pick up for it to work with the supra.

i would totally agree with you, it would really piss me off.

cheers rog i do like the stillen too,anyway i mean the air vent at the rear where i have marked,there on the underside(not visible) most copies wll not have the push type fittings in these areas,if you take one off you would know instantly as you would be able to see the female type socket in the body. a pitty about that as they do seem to fit nice on ya motor. i know how it feels i reversed down a hole in mablethorpe and it cracked my drivers side one..repaired it and got me a spare set now:thumbs:

have a look on your photo mate, ive circled an area which does not look like oem standard.....

personally i didnt think toyota would supply the skirts as i was told by them some time ago that there is no chance of getting them at all....? on the other hand i cant see them sending out copies, very strange. yours do look a good fit though and saying that i sold my oem replicas to Gareth on here and they was a very good fit too. prety much exact copies. you can alway tell as oem ones will be more flexible and they look black plasic inside, copies are usually fibregass, are more rigid and have a matting look inside, also check where the air vent is as even good copies wont have the clips around the vent area of the skirt. hope it helps andy

they must weigh a bit i dont think there carbon, dont want to start that one off again.........

what a bucket babe! looks like someones nutted her......

what the hell small details man!

i have a rattle in that area too! its my young un.........are we nearly there dad!

yes the w58 does mate to the 1jz, and like gareth says a mk3 w58 will require the jz bell housing for sure so your better off getting the mk4 one, slightly better internals, newer and is straight fit. as for the r154 ma70/7mgte one, yes you only need the bell housing but theres a shit load of modding to be done on selector shaft and housing and rear mounting as they are different too! not forgetting its length which is smaller so youll need a modded propshaft too! FYI theres 8 mounting holes in the jz flywheel and six on the 7mgte one so be carefull what you buy, although the splines are same on gearbox unlike the tt 2jz which have less splines and are bigger so flywheel has to be from 1jz too not 7mgte unless you mod the mk4 w58[n/a] flywheel by moving the lugs and use the 7mgte clutch, still theres quite a decent range of clutches out there since i did my conversion which should be adequate for the n/a push system, which means you could run the r154 box with jz bell housing,on w58 flywheel and uprated clutch no probs, but still the pull system is loads better for the torque of these motors. IMHO keep the getrag unless youve got plenty of time, money and Ibuprofen

side window is quite tricky as there bonded, under interior trim which comes away enough to remove i think 2 x 10mm nuts, and if you can get it to budge a little thread some strong fishing wire from inside to out and work it around the window to cut the bond, either that or smash it and get it done by autoglass on the insurance!

ive got an aristo in mine jobs a goodun, be nice to do a twin engine though and get rid of the back seats.....

they have just had a program on discovery about this guy.....mad!

Who has seen this yet, only just spotted it but motor looks friggin mental........i want one sod the turbo's! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIu7f7QgdWs
